	The series 30 padlock is a standard pin tumbler lock which, though it sometimes has room for a 6th pin stack, comes pinned in 5 chambers. The bottom pins come in both serrated and plain, and the top pins come as spooled, spoorated, and serrated top pins. When all of the pins are lifted to the shear line by the key the plug can turn clockwise.
